Procurement Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are a great way to study using the government levy to fund the course. All of the course fees, books, and exams will be taken care of so all you have to focus on in learning.
By studying an apprenticeship you’ll also get lots of extra tasks to embed the learning in your own company, as well as your own skills coach to help you the whole way through.

What everyone else has to say about us

Regional Manager, Nissan
“ABA have supported Nissan over the years, successfully launching the first CIPS Level 4 apprenticeships in the Company.
They were extremely knowledgeable, transparent and realistic in their approach, and that has continued during the business relationship with their positive enthusiasm.
The guys are always available to support the Nissan Training Management with updates and supporting regular productive reviews, and the students whether it be with exams or general course coordination. -
Head of Procurement and Contracts, Public Sector Partnership Services
“I chose ABA to undertake my CIPS qualifications after some research online what feels like an age ago! Following the completion of my first level, there was no hesitation but to stay with them for the rest of my qualifications. The team were personable and helpful to your every need, and the quality of tutoring / support was second to none.
ABA left such a good impression on me that I am now actively looking to use them to develop new, aspiring procurement professionals within the team.” -
Procurement Manager, East Suffolk Council
I’ve recently completed my CIPS level 4 diploma through studying with ABA Procurement. I found every tutor I had to be knowledgeable and approachable, the teaching to be well structured and informative backed up by relevant resources. I passed every exam first time and am looking forward to starting my level 5 next year with ABA again. I have relied on ABA’s recommendations to hire new members of staff, and will be returning to them again to train the rest of my team.’
